    Smile Practical CNC still around - kinda

    I have been using a Practical CNC with some trepidation. I purchased it just before Practical CNC went out of business. I've had okay luck with the machine. In 2012 I upgraded to CandCNC MP3000. All went well.

    Recently my XP PC failed. I was able to get a new old PC that matches the configuration I needed (including a parallel port!). I'm trying to get up and running again.

    Is there anyone running a Practical CNC (4-foot table) yet who could share the motor settings so I can more easily configure my PCNC in Mach3? I don't know motor speeds, gear ratios...etc and all of that is in the config file - which I no longer have available on the crashed drive.

    Please help if you are able!!

    Hey, did you ever find these settings? I am trying to get a practical CNC going after a long rest and have no clue where to star with motor tuning.
